Minister Andrew had nothing much to report, as Austrsia is basically not involved in international affairs. Apart from exchanges with a few better countries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has virtually nothing to do.
Minister of Defce Kt simply reported on the number of soldiers and their currt training status. The situation in the Ministry of Defce is unique at the momt. Although it is part of the Cab, the Ministry of Defce only reports to the Royal Parliamt and Arthur.
Next up was Finance Minister Roger. The financial situation in Austrsia is quite good, not only does it have 30 million Australian dors on the books, but the fiscal revue in thest six months has also hit a new high, reaching a pleasing 5.3 million Australian dors.
If this can be maintained, the total governmt fiscal revue for 907 has a chance of exceeding 30 million Australian dors, realising a surplus in governmt finances for the first time.
Because in the first half of the year, the total fiscal expditure of the governmt was only 4. million Australian dors, ev wh the Northern Railway construction n wasunched.
In the second half of this year, the construction of the industrial railway is about to bepleted, which also means that the governmt will have one less major expditure project.
The governmt''s financial turna from deficit to surplus, has many ministers smiling from ear to ear.
The improvemt in governmt finances also means that each departmt will receive arger budget, making it ev easier to carry out their tasks.
Minister Hry wt straight from the not-so-high-ranking Minister of Agriculture position to Minister of Civil Affairs and became one of the upper echelons of the Cab Governmt.
Despite being responsible forpletely differt affairs, years of political experice have allowed Minister Hry to quickly familiarise himself with the situation in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, making it easier to manage administrative affairs.
Though only half a year has passed, the poption growth in Austrsia has be very rapid.
So far, Austrsia has a total poption of 6.77 million, of which the total poption of Australia is 5.4 million and New Zend''s total poption is .3 million.
It is visible to the naked eye that the scale and developmt speed of Australia''s poption is much faster than that of New Zend, this is due to Australia''snd area, as well as Australia''s original poption scale.
However, this is a good thing for the currt Austrsia, Arthur''s base is Australia, and the stronger Australia is, the more stable the situation of Austrsian unity bes.
Although the gap betwe Australia and New Zend is gradually bing a source of dissatisfaction for some New Zenders, Arthur also has measures to deal with this.
Besidesunching many constructions in New Zend to let them truly feel the changes brought about by joining the kingdom, we are also promoting the concept of Austrsians, subtly merging Australians and New Zenders into one ethnicity, which can also eliminate the possibility of a gap betwe the two peoples and regions.
Next up are the two new ministers, that is, the reports from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Transportation.
First is the Ministry of Agriculture, the report from Minister Mark.
The developmt of agriculture in Austrsia is also very rapid, which is thanks to thebour of arge number of indigous people.
Due to the input of arge number of indigous people, the total area of arablend in Austrsia has be steadily increasing at a rate of at least 5% annually. Food production is ev more pleasing, from initially a million tons in Australia, by 906 the annual production exceeded 5.5 million tons.
This grain production can sustain a poption of 0 million. But Austrsia still has a lot of arablend, this is a valuable resource for Austrsia, and the key to supporting arger poption.
What is noticeably differt from before is the cultivatednd area that Austrsia currtly gives to immigrants.
Although each immigrant could previously be allocated three acres ofnd, less than a fifth of this was ready-made farnd, the rest required the immigrants to clear it themselves.
But now Austrsia''s immigration policy has be upgraded once again. Each immigrant can not only obtain at least five acres ofnd, at least one-third of which is arable, but also hire indigous peoples for remation at a low price.
Especially in the New Guinea Colony, immigrants heading to New Guinea Colony can ev get t acres ofnd, the Colonial Governmt will also dispatch indigous people for remation, and ev farming and harvesting can hire indigous people at a low cost, thus bing a farm owner.
There was also a twist, the Dutch East Indies too felt the frantic speed of Austrsia''s developmt and made some adjustmts regarding the Indigous Peoples.
Currtly, the frequcy of indigous people dispatched from the Dutch East Indies is significantly lower, and most of those st over are wom or the elderly who are not suitable asborers.
Although their price is ev lower, Austrsia has no need to spd money buying waste.
ording to the estimates of the Dutch East Indies indigous poption, there are at least more than forty million indigous people within the Dutch East Indies.
However, in the Dutch East Indies, the indigous poption transported to Austrsia is only just over one million, which is trifling for the Dutch East Indies.
Therefore, the reason for the Dutch East Indies reducing the frequcy of indigous transfers is very likely because they fear Austrsia''s speed of developmt.
Perhaps they have also realized that continuing to transportrge numbers of indigous people will only continue to elerate Austrsia''s developmt speed.
Wh Austrsia has developed to a certain extt and possesses ough military strgth, the Dutch East Indies, as Austrsia''s closest neighbor to the north, will undoubtedly be hit first.
Arthur understood the Dutch''s apprehsions, but it was already toote for the Dutch to react.
Looking at the currt developmt of Austrsia, the Dutch may not necessarily be a match for Austrsia.
The Dutch East Indies wants to reduce the scale of indigous people transport, but it depds on whether Arthur''s loyal army agrees or not.
This is an important issue about national developmt and can absolutely cause two fridly nations to fall out.
If the Dutch are unwilling to continue the previous scale of indigous transportation, th they can only experice the intsity of the Austrsia Army.
Of course, this also needs an opportunity. Arthur will not take the initiative to act against the Dutch without sufficit reasons.
After all, this is a legally recognized colony of the Powers, and Arthur does not want Austrsia''s positive impression in the eyes of the Powers to be too badly damaged.
The reports from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Transportation are all based on data.
The transportation infrastructure construction of Austrsia is also progressing smoothly, the industrial railways estimated for t-year construction has alreadypleted more than half in more than six years and will be officiallypleted and oped to traffic in the second half of this year.N?v(el)B\\jnn
This will greatly alleviate the traffic issues betwe the east and west ds of the Australian Contint, and the abundant mineral resources of West Australia and South Australia can be transferred effectively and quickly to the most developed region of Southeast Australia.
If the construction of the Northern Railwaypletes, themunication betwe the states of Australia will be very efficit, which will also be good news for the developmt of Austrsia.
Of course, if the Northern Railway is sessfully built, Austrsia will have a better grip on the Northern Region of Australia.
And the Northern Region of the Australian Contint is very close to Southeast Asia, especially some inds in the Dutch East Indies.
This is also an arrangemt for the possible expansion of Austrsia, and the Southeast Asia region is also very important for Austrsia.
